to schedule a guided tour or speaker. Here is one feedback along with a tour request out of hundreds we have received about the experience...
"This experience with ICGC will be lasting for all of us.We are so appreciative of what you, Shakila, led to happen decades ago for non-Muslims to understand about Islam in America. Now we from Holy T carry a very new appreciation for Islam and understanding what are the values of Muslims so similar to those values of us who choose to be Christians. Surely, it has changed our lives as we see ourselves living together with Muslims in America. We are most grateful to you, Shakila, Huma, Zeinab, and Nadia."

A program offered by the West Chester Police Department expands on the 2 hour SMART Self-Defense class. This class is being offered to women 16 years and older.

Islamic Center In The News
|
|
|
Every community has a narra
tive. Either that community controls the narrative or the narrative cont
rols the community. Now more than ever the American Muslim community has to take control of the narrative. This can only be achieved if as a community we are building bridges and inroads with media. Media outlets want to cover stories and do pieces that people are interested in. They want viewers, readers, comments, and discussions. It is critical that as a community we are more visible and more vocal in the media.
We have been blessed for wide and positive coverage of the Center. When there is positive coverage we must all give feedback and acknowledge and appreciate the work of the media. Please take a few minutes to review the media links and give positive feedback where you feel comfortable.
